Marietta Power gave us a notice to change the sockets for our power meter. The quote was $1700 to change the lugs although it would be $600 cheaper if we waited and had the work permitted and Marietta Power cut off the power.

I declined the quote and was charged a $49 "Emergency Fee" and a $199 diagnostic fee. We were told on the phone the $49 would be the total cost of the visit without having any work done. We already knew the problem we had, as evidenced by the notice from Marietta Power.

The notice from Marietta Power even warned us to get multiple quotes. We had all four lugs replaced for $400.
